SB 241 Beaver damage.
Introduced by: Malfourd W. Trumbo | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Beaver damage. Allows landowners, whose property has been damaged due to the damming of a water body by beaver activity, to seek injunctive relief against the landowner upon whose property the beaver are located. The injunctive relief may require the owner of the property where the beaver are located to remove beaver dams that are diverting water from or impounding water on an adjacent landowner's property and may require that the offending landowner provide such other relief as is necessary to prevent further damage to the adjacent landowner's property. The landowner damaged by the beaver activity would be entitled to compensatory damages as well as reasonable attorney's fees.
